Details of Disappearance

Garcia was last seen leaving a job site in Maineville, Ohio on January 12, 2018. He had his own business, Garcia Lawn Care, and had gone to the job site to take down Christmas lights. He spoke to his wife at 1:20 p.m. and said he was having lunch and would see her that evening when he got home. It isn't uncharacteristic of him to spend time with friends after work and not come home until late. He has never been heard from again.

On January 19, the white 2011 Toyota Tacoma pickup truck Garcia had been driving was found in Fairfield, Ohio. Investigators have identified a person of interest in his case and foul play is suspected. His case remains unsolved.
